Most classical Christian schools have never entirely sorted out whether they want Bible classes or theology classes.
“Bible class” has become a bit of a catch-all term, much like “Bible study.” I regularly hear students say they go to a “Bible study” where they are reading some lately published memoir about overcoming trauma. It is understandable they refer to such events as “Bible studies”, though, because even “Bible studies” which feature open Bibles rarely include Bible study. Instead, a brief passage from one of St. Paul’s letters is read—it might take sixty seconds or so—and then students share what they think the passage means for about half an hour. In this way, a study of Galatians, a study of a Lauren Daigle song, and the study of an Ann Voskamp book all basically turn into the same thing.
There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity.
